What's new in this version:

Highlights:
- Experimental support for overriding numpy functions, see __array_function__ below.
- The matmul function is now a ufunc. This provides better performance and allows overriding with __array_ufunc__.
- Improved support for the ARM and POWER architectures.
- Improved support for AIX and PyPy.
- Improved interop with ctypes.
- Improved support for PEP 3118.

New functions:
- New functions added to the numpy.lib.recfuntions module to ease the structured assignment changes: assign_fields_by_name, structured_to_unstructured, unstructured_to_structured, apply_along_fields, require_fields

New deprecations:
- The type dictionaries numpy.core.typeNA and numpy.core.sctypeNA are deprecated. They were buggy and not documented and will be removed in the 1.18 release. Usenumpy.sctypeDict instead.
- The numpy.asscalar function is deprecated. It is an alias to the more powerful numpy.ndarray.item, not tested, and fails for scalars.
- The numpy.set_array_ops and numpy.get_array_ops functions are deprecated.
- As part of NEP 15, they have been deprecated along with the C-API functions :c:func:PyArray_SetNumericOps and :c:func:PyArray_GetNumericOps. Users who wish to override the inner loop functions in built-in ufuncs should use :c:func:PyUFunc_ReplaceLoopBySignature.
- The numpy.unravel_index keyword argument dims is deprecated, use shape instead.
- The numpy.histogram normed argument is deprecated. It was deprecated previously, but no warning was issued.
- The positive operator (+) applied to non-numerical arrays is deprecated. See below for details.
- Passing an iterator to the stack functions is deprecated

Expired deprecations:
- NaT comparisons now return False without a warning, finishing a deprecation cycle begun in NumPy 1.11.
- np.lib.function_base.unique was removed, finishing a deprecation cycle begun in NumPy 1.4. Use numpy.unique instead.
- multi-field indexing now returns views instead of copies, finishing a deprecation cycle begun in NumPy 1.7. The change was previously attempted in NumPy 1.14 but reverted until now.
- np.PackageLoader and np.pkgload have been removed. These were deprecated in 1.10, had no tests, and seem to no longer work in 1.15.

Future changes:
NumPy 1.17 will drop support for Python 2.7
